I've found you actually get less rep per minute with a full crew despite the bonus because you can only get one broadside per ship, your crew sinks it too fast. With 2 gunners you will get 25% bonus rep and only a little extra damage, which will let you broadside more.A larger crew can help get you that reputation bonus of up to 50% as well
I suppose that's true. I'm usually sailing for mats so I usually try to get big crews so you sink more ships quicker You have a good point though!I've found you actually get less rep per minute with a full crew despite the bonus because you can only get one broadside per ship, your crew sinks it too fast.

Forgot to mention this, it's very important. Keep your broadsides at level 1 so you can average more broadsides per ship. I'd keep it this way until you hit 15 and can use the large ships.not pumping your broadsides to max will allow you to hit it more without sinking also - but it will take more time.
